Honestly? It's a term borrowed from a youtuber who talks about gameplay design in arcade games, and this board has used it as a buzzword, but it's not entirely far-fetched; it refers to the amount of meaningful decisions you can make and that the game prompts you to make during a certain amount of time. Shmups, at least the well-designed ones, force you at all times to press buttons at the risk of the game itself snowballing on you.

Ah sweet
